I don’t know we need embassies in every country. Especially really small and unimportant ones. Whatever happened to sending envoys when they were needed, why do we need full-sized permanent diplomatic presence in so many countries?

There were 150,000 American troops there not that long ago. The Embassy in Iraq is the largest US Embassy in the world. The Embassy sits in the middle of the "Green Zone" which was a large area walled off to prevent terrorist attacks. There are 15,000 employees in American Embassy in Iraq! That's a lot of helicopter rides!
